Three Bishops have requested a meeting with LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran to discuss the Prof. Hoole issue.
Church sources said Bishops, Rev. S. Jebaneshan, Rev. Thomas Ravuthar Nayagam, Rev. Rayappu were willing to meet Prabakaran in person to discuss the ongoing protests against the newly appointed Vice- Chancellor, of the Jaffna University, Prof. S.Rathnajeevan H. Hoole. The bishops are awaiting a reply to their request.
Prof.Hoole said people he had never met and spoken to were making baseless allegations against him. `They say I am a traitor, collaborator with the Army and an enemy to the Tamil community. But they have not yet told me what crime I had committed against the Tamils. I have never acted against the Tamil people and will never.`
Among the Sri Lankan Professors in service, Prof.Hoole is the only holder of a higher DSc from a western university.
His research story ` The exile Returns ` won plaudits from western professors.

People are fabricating conspiracy theories about Prof. Hoole's death while the good professor is alive. Sadly, none of these Pandits have one tenth of his brain.
As I see, he is a scholar without any political affiliation. Someone please tell me why LTTE is opposed to him being the VC. I have seen worst VC's in the south in the past. I can even name some. Do you recall Dr. Stanley Kalpage? He was the head of the university grants commission. Phew!

Dewey,
His brother runs the UTHR J branch which is most likely connected with the Govt as i have seen CBK quote it on several occasions. It is mostly anti LTTE which pretty much equates it to anti-tamil. havent heard from them in a while though. |

Tamilcanuck;
'anti LTTE which pretty much equates it to anti-tamil'
Can you tell me how a person can become anti-tamil just because they don't agree with LTTE policies ?
Sri lankan people are not anti-Tamil but anti-LTTE (for obvious reasons). To be anti-LTTE is not being anti-Tamil. |

Yo Pulli,
Let me just tickle you a bit more. If LTTE=Tamil then all Tamils including children/grand parents/up country Tamils become legitimate targets when war commence. Of course I have no problems with this. But having said that, I don't want to hear that 'genocide song' of yours anymore, because you asked for it.
-OK- |

Expatpuli; i don't think thats a good example whatever you are trying to say.
How can you even compare being anti-semitic to something like being anti-LTTE.
Being anti-LTTE has nothing to do with Tamils or tamil race. |

| Most of the tamils identify with the tigers. infact when a new colleague is introduced and he becomes aware i was born in lanka one of the first Q is are you a tiger. what they meant to ask was are you a TAMIL. happend to me on many occasions! |
